Abstract A previous study of the low-temperature properties of a series of vulcanized butadiene-acrylonitrile copolymers indicated an approximately linear relation between composition and brittle temperature. This study provides information relating low-temperature properties to copolymer composition for a series of industrially available butadiene-acrylonitrile copolymers of varying acrylonitrile content. The refractometric technique for determining second-order transition temperatures (Tm) as previously described was used to determine Tm.

Abstract In previous papers a refractometric method was described for determining second-order transition temperatures of polymers whose transitions occur between 75 and −60° C. In the present study, an Abbé refractometer was insulated and used to determine the refractive indexes of polymers down to − 120° C and the transition points of natural rubber and a number of synthetic rubbers.
